Anyone else excited about this game. Finally a game where hacking is one of the focal points instead of some sh*tty mini game(allthough I did like finding code segments in ME2). I also like futuristic dystopia type stories, so it should be awesome.

It looks like a cool game, but I'd like to see a successful AAA game that has something that resembles actual hacking, instead of "Hit 'X' to hack!".

I think that the average player wouldn't be exited by playing a guy who sits hours in front of OllyDbg...

+1, this is awfully true. Imagine the pain of the game designer tasked with making a realistic hacking part of a game, only to be deleted because the beta-testers thought of it as slow, difficult and annoying.

I suppose that's why we have wargames...
